Posted by Photoscream - 07/09/2010 - 9:34am -

This photo was taken in the early to mid 1950's. My mother used to work for the International Nickel Company at 67 Wall St in New York, and this photo was in the same set as some others taken at her workplace. I'm assuming this gentleman was a company scientist at the time. This is a photo that always intrigued me growing up when going through family photos. To my young mind, this tall black man with the long overcoat was in the process of mixing up some strange concoction. Given his gentle smile, I assumed it was for good and not evil. As this was well before the civil rights era, it makes the photo even more poignant today. View full size. Some cleaningI thought a nice photo like this could stand to be cleaned up a bit.

Lake Erie circa 1901. "Ore docks and harbor -- Cleveland, O." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Photographic Company. View full size. Whiskey IslandSince nobody has commented yet on this wonderful scene, here is my attempt to get things started. There is much more unexplained than what I can surmise, especially those odd disconnected trestles. The boat (not called a ship on the Great Lakes) is in the "old river bed", with Whiskey Island in the background. The twisty Cuyahoga River originally emptied into Lake Erie west of its current mouth, near where the Westerly Wastewater Treatment Plant is now. A new direct river entrance was cut east of this scene, unsure of when. The boat appears to be at the Cleveland Shipyard, either being completed or under repair under the sheerlegs. The boat's stern is sitting very high in the water, with work platforms around the rudder. There is a vertical boilered steam pile driver across the river, just left of the boat's mizzenmast, building a grid of pilings for some new construction. The round white object in the foreground looks like a ship's boiler, fat and stubby. None of these wooden buildings survive. The shipyard's abandoned drydock is still visible on satellite, to the west of the Great Lakes Towing Company (G Tug) yard. The concrete framed drydock entrance is still there, visited it a few years ago. Some time on the Bowling Green site might turn up the name of the boat, assuming it was being built at this time. The 'P' is probably Pittsburgh Steamship Company, but uncertain. The Cargill salt mine now occupies the area where the more distant disconnected trestle stands. The nearest trestlework appears to be the shipbuilding ways. Those crossed timbers would be light duty cranes for hoisting pieces of plating and small fittings. The disconnected trestle with the 4 hopper cars is a puzzle, unless there was an elevator to hoist the cars from ground level, not uncommon with lighter cars of the era, or it might be a curved ramp from the background. Seems like a long lens was used, the perspective is confusing. The embankment in the background is the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, later New York Central, Penn Central, Conrail, now Norfolk Southern, climbing westward from the old lakefront depot. Beyond the railroad is where the Lakefront Ore Docks are now. The breakwall is apparently being built or expanded, a pretty constant process to this day. Now I hope somebody comments on the equally wonderful "Along the Ohio: 1940". (The Gallery, Boats & Bridges, Cleveland, DPC, Railroads)

The Baus/Weber home in Linn, KS. Circa 1902. This is my Great Grandmother Paulina Baus/Weber with four of her thirteen children. The caption written on the scrapbook under the picture says 'Gobbie Hill.' Linn, KS. The family left Kansas around 1904 for a new life in the booming town of Los Angeles. We Great Grandchildren also born in Los Angeles always called them 'Gross Grandpa and Grandma;' gross meaning great in German. Great Grandfather was born the first day they arrived in New York from Germany, thus the family legend is that he was made in German but produced in America. No family member today knows or can find out where Gobbie Hill might have been. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)
